Sample approval
Approve a tissue sample against a written specification, an agreed evaluation method and a named sample reference. A pleasant first impression does not establish sheet count, packaging accuracy or repeat-order consistency. Use the record below to separate what you measured, what a supplier reported and what still needs confirmation before a purchase order.
BUYER CHECKLIST
Keep one record for each product and packaging version. Enter actual observations; leave unavailable results pending instead of filling them from a quotation.
BUYER CHECKLIST
BUYER CHECKLIST
Tensile strength concerns the force a test piece withstands before breaking, reported on the method's stated basis. It is a different property from softness or absorption. These are method-selection notes, not VELUPLY test results.
BUYER CHECKLIST
This is a repeatable observation protocol to agree with the buyer, not a standardized laboratory lint test. It provides no universal pass threshold. For a formal lint claim, commission an appropriate method and report from a competent testing provider.
DECISION POINTS
Illustrative only: a buyer receives a two-ply facial tissue reference with an agreed sheet size, but the proposed printed box is absent. The buyer may record the paper evaluation as acceptable while leaving packaging approval open. That decision must not be copied into a purchase order as unconditional approval of the finished retail SKU.
Compare samples under consistent handling and storage conditions. If one sample was compressed, damp or unpacked for longer, record that difference before attributing the result to material quality. Ask the testing provider to define conditioning when commissioning formal measurements.
A showroom sample can help choose a direction. Before ordering, ask which features it represents and which will change. The production specification, approved artwork and commercial terms should identify those differences rather than relying on a verbal promise that the order will be similar.
WORKING SEQUENCE
Define the intended use and the acceptance questions before requesting samples. Choose the properties that matter for that use instead of collecting an unstructured list of impressions.
Assign a reference to each received sample and record its condition. Check identity, dimensions and quantity before comparing performance or price.
Run the agreed buyer checks or commission a matched test. Record exceptions, methods and raw observations, including a pending status when no result exists.
Resolve conditions in writing, retain the agreed reference and attach the final approval record to the order. Reopen approval when a material, dimension, artwork or pack version changes.
DIRECT ANSWERS
There is no universal sample count for every tissue order. Agree the inspection approach with the supplier or inspection provider according to lot size, risks and the properties being checked. Record the scope so a small reference check is not presented as a statistical acceptance of the entire shipment.
No. A certificate and a physical sample answer different questions. Match any certificate or report to its holder, product scope and quoted route, then separately approve the sample's relevant specification and packaging.
Yes, as a clearly conditional record. Name the approved paper reference, list the unresolved packaging fields and specify who must release them. Do not treat the complete retail product as approved until the conditions are closed.
SOURCES & LIMITS
This is a buyer planning checklist, not a laboratory report or a VELUPLY product approval. The ISO references identify published test methods; they do not establish that a sample has been tested or passed. Confirm the applicable method and edition with the testing provider.
